Slow Cooker Baked Beans

Slow Cooker Baked Beans are a must have for your cookouts and barbecues.

If your family is anything like mine baked beans make a regular appearance on your dinner plates during the summer. There is just something about them that taste extra delicious paired with food cooked on a grill or slow smoked pulled pork or chicken.

It took me a few months to get the recipe for slow cooker baked beans how I wanted. A lot of recipes I found used barbecue sauce which wasn’t exactly the flavor I was going for.

Then last week I perfected the recipe. Not too ketchupy, not overly sweet, and so scrumptious that I don’t know that we’ll ever go back to the canned baked beans.

You can also make these with home cooked dried beans instead of canned which is what I did. You’ll need 7 1/2 cups of cooked beans to equal the 5 15 ounce cans. I don’t mind using canned beans but I had the dried in my pantry so it saved me a trip to the store.
